1998 - Audio cassette duplication - Audio tape duplicating/loading. Technique de duplication rapide de la cassette audio. Audio tape high speed duplication system
Man , I'd love to work there.There is so much to learn about cassettes. Cassettes are so cool.Even in 2023 cassettes are still awesome to play and make mix tapes ! Cassettes need more love ❤️
J’ai travaillé chez polygram et c’était impressionant la vitesse des machines. Dommage qu’il n’y pas d’explications du proccess, je le connaissait très bien. Au contrôle,les cassettes était testées sur une Nakamichi série bx. Sinon merci d’avoir mi cette vidéo en ligne, il y en a très peu.
Impressionante, sempre quiz saber como são gravadas as fitas cassette , mas não imaginava que as máquinas era tão complexas! Em pleno 2023, ainda ouço as minhas fitas cassettes e gosto muito. Video muito explicativo, processo muito bom de se ver.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Rhett Ulises I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I would love to have a binloop setup for a tapematic system. I see you had the dual pancake setup working what is a first for me! The footage of the pancakes being recorded is amazing! Do you still have any of this equipment? I have been working on repairing a tapematic cr with a few acquired parts but have been having problems with consistent leader extraction, without a full service manual too so it has been an interesting experience so far!
The bin is only wide enough that he tape "stacks" itself. I worked 6 years for Electo Sound in the USA. We were the largest bin loop duplicator manufacturer in the world, Used by a major record labels. Vacuum??? nope. Gravity. Vacuum was only used as a part of a tension system to keep the tape on the playback heads.
Wow this is impressive. I would love to work somewhere like this. I have recently started collecting cassettes again, they are so cool. The speed that all the machinery works to manufacture cassettes is so impressive. Considering that the 2 sides of music on a cassette is nearly always of unequal playing time I wonder how the machine loading the tape into the cassettes knows where to cut the tape in the right place. I would love to find out.
@@beidup oh, okay. I always wondered what the strange humming sound was I've heard on cassette tapes and why it's there. Now I know. Thanks for the explanation 👍
Leader tape was part of the empty cassette shell manufacturing. The cassette reels have a detent in them and the leader is press fitted into this dentent with a piece of round plastic.
The Asona is a so called Loop Bin. As far as i know there is a single loop of tape that plays the entire album (left and right at the same time) over and over again and that is being recorded on those "pancakes" that are spinning right next to it.
It can be, but whatever source they are supplied with, if the destination format is cassette, that source has to be copied to either a half-inch or one-inch duplicating master tape, which then gets fed into the loop bin (in the Asona machine in this video) and then recorded onto the few slave machines loaded with 1/8" cassette tape.
It really depended. At that point there were still many places using analog loop bins. Digital loop bins were extraordinarily expensive (think of how much storage space raw PCM audio takes -- they had to have that much RAM to hold the whole thing. Not cheap in the 90s. Hard drives were not reliable enough). So analog duplicators had a place right up until the end of mass cassette production. Most major plants used digital but there were a LOT of smaller plants doing all sorts of non-music stuff as well.
Man, am I glad those days are over 😂 Nothing against vintage tech (still play records on a turntable), but there were no times in which the cassette did not suck. Walkman excluded maybe for a couple of occasions.

Its very good to see new tape cassettes being made,I am a big fan of them.
The legendary loop bin. Nice to see one working.
This is simply impressive ❤
Thanks for uploading. Very interesting to see how it's done.

@Rhett Ulises It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Ronin Eric you are welcome xD
Thanks for upload Audio Cassette duplication unit,worked same industry
I love cassettes tapes very much... thanks for uploading this video 💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I worked on similar cassette duplicators at Capitol records in Winchester Va.
Ух ты, сколько аудиокассет делали в то время!
The Sony TC-K81 (or 75?) at 0:33 is a very good cassette deck.
Great stuff :)
Nice I always wanted to know how they do cassette tape 👍😎

Wait, so the bin loop dumps the tape in a tangled mess??? What keeps it from getting jammed?
A vacuum

Hello, is it possible to get into contact and know more about where to buy these mashines and the supply? I'd be very interested. Kind regards
0:10 Westeros called, they want their song back. But anyway, the best time for recorded music was the Iron (Oxide) Age.
Very interesting, thanks for uploading. How many cassettes were you able to manufacture in an hour?

It used a CUE tone, a low frequency signal that was placed on the tape where it needed to be cut. I owned a tape duplication plant for 10 years.

But, how does the leader tape comes into the blank cassette and how its fastened to the reels when its manufactured?
Leader tape was part of the empty cassette shell manufacturing. The cassette reels have a detent in them and the leader is press fitted into this dentent with a piece of round plastic.
How many generations removed from the original studio master is the first tape used here?
Studios sent the duplicator a copy of the master tape. So the "running master" was a third generation.

Nice video.
I wonder what' s the Asona machine for?
The Asona is a so called Loop Bin. As far as i know there is a single loop of tape that plays the entire album (left and right at the same time) over and over again and that is being recorded on those "pancakes" that are spinning right next to it.
it is the source of the sound that is being recorded on the "Slave" cassette tape recorders.

Bonjour! Wonderful video! Is this company still in business? Do you know the name of the company?
This was my company. I'm retired now. I have created it in 1984 and operated it until 2011.
@@roroancet yo you have any more footage of it in action? It looks very impressive and I could watch this process for hours 😊
So in 1998 they weren't using a digital file to record to tape? Something does seem right here.
It can be, but whatever source they are supplied with, if the destination format is cassette, that source has to be copied to either a half-inch or one-inch duplicating master tape, which then gets fed into the loop bin (in the Asona machine in this video) and then recorded onto the few slave machines loaded with 1/8" cassette tape.

Does anyone know the songs name played in the beginning? :D

@@saintly2k it's called "Instru" by "Cheb Zahouani" , in case you're still wondering
